The cat takes 4 months to cook their dinner. The mouse eats it in 5 mins.
Happily using UBOrigin on web and uYouplus on iOS.
How many Youtube employees would be assigned to frontend/adblock sabotage efforts? I'm wondering whether the law of diminishing returns will be observed, or will the company have sufficient resources to maintain the shenanigans indefinitely.
If it's the latter, Youtube can rest assured my resolve will match theirs, until the damned thing gets paywalled...
It would be so interesting to see how the internet reacts to YouTube going paywalled. It would probably kill a lot of YT creators' revenue and views.
Or maybe people would pay for it, idk. Do people spend more time on YouTube than they do Disney+ or Hulu or Netflix, given YT Premium's cost?
So long as it's publicly accessible, Youtube has 'plausible credibility' when it talks to advertisers about impression numbers. Remember, we're not the only party YT fucks.
Lol, not here.
"this might have been a bug"
that or they didn't like the PR so they reverted it till later
Broadcast Yourself, if you're willing to let us slap money making machines all over your channel, and nobody can get rid of them.
Is this country specific? The EU has existing law in many countries that allows users to filter out ads.
YT any% speedrun
Is this fake alert again, like with that bug in the Adblock Plus? I didn't notice any issues.
"it's rolling out in waves!"
It's been kind of a long time for them to not have covered everyone. I suspect it's just user error, especially considering the source of these articles is always just "some dude on social media saying trust me bro."
